Some Credit Requirements For a Home Loan

Your mortgage lender will look at several different aspects of your financial history before making the decision about your home loan. You may be required to make some repairs to your financial standings before you can proceed, so check carefully before beginning the process, and you might be able to save yourself a lot of time and heartache.

First of all, your lender will want to see steady employment for the last two years. If this employment is with the same employer, that looks even better for you. Frequent job changes or stretches of unemployment can make obtaining a loan that much harder for you. You may be able to apply for a mortgage without disclosing your employment history, but you can expect to pay higher interest rates as a result.

Your lender will also take your income into account. You must have a certain debt to income ratio before banks will even consider giving a new loan. For this reason, it is a good idea to clean up your debt before applying for a loan. You want your debt to income ration to be lower than 41%, but obviously you will receive better interest rates for a lower percentage.
